On Visa Processing Suspension by US Mission to Russia

UPDATE: ASEEES sent a letter to the US Embassy on August 31 and received a reply on Sept 11. We passed on the update from the embassy to the Russian participants who completed the visa form.

On Aug 21, 2017, the US Mission to Russia announced suspension of non-immigrant visa processing due to insufficient staffing. You can read the statement here.

ASEEES plans to write to the US Ambassador to Russia by no later than Sept. 1 to underscore the vital importance of US-Russian scholarly exchange that takes place at the ASEEES Conventions. We plan to include a list of convention participants who still need visas. If you are in this situation, please complete this form by no later than Aug. 30.
